Press. News and Call Of that city; and
during this long term as general
worker had no opportunity or desire to give
, his humorous faculties full play. In The
News and The Call he conducted funny col
umns which were widely quoted, but man
agerial responsibilities prevented him from
doing himself justice. On The Omaha World
he is not thus handicapped, and hence the
marked difference in results. He is a devoted
student OF human nature Mankind is his

sion it is easy for him TO guess what
it would be natural for that character

OF revelations, his little surprises seeming in
exhaustible. Born and reared in the anthra-
cite coal and canal regions of Pennsylvania,
spending many of his early years in mining
towns, he had the double advantage Of asso-
citation with people Of the highest refinement
and personal acquaintance with characters
such as could only be found there For
months he was one Of the denizens Of min
ing district, one-half OF whose inhabitants
were arrayed against the other, the law abid-
ing portion being drilled and uniformed in
regular military organizations and many
places being practically under martial law
Following his natural bent, he did his best to
probe the cause Of dissaffection 10 the
bottom, often taking long tramps through
the gang infested forests at night in |
hopes of adding TO his stock of information. /
the points publicly presented being apparently /
OF little moment Men were being Swallowed, |
beaten and shot seemingly without motive
and reign Of terror had begun, which con-
tinued with little interruption for years.
From such scenes he was suddenly transferred
to an academy i'll large city. After few
years he returned to his mountain home at
Mauch Chunk, Pa, revisited the mining
towns and was then sent 10 Dio Lewis gymn-
astic school near Boston. where outside Of the
hours Of exercise he had nothing to do but
study the universal Yankee as he exists in
New England. After preparing for college,
entering and remaining n few terms he 4,
abandoned the classics and spent sew
eral years in business pursuits which
ook him into adjoining states and
brew him among people Of every imaginable
ort. His journalistic experience in Philadel.
'hia embraced every duty which newspaper
worker can be called OF to perform, and led
linn into all grades Of society, from the FIRE
uenters OF tho lowest dives and denizens of \
he most revolving slums TO the visiting
vearers Of coronets and their cultured \
american hosts. His reportorial duties for q
lnately happened to extend over the Centen- ;
ial year, and, being at the Exposition daily, :
o acquired a familiarity with national traits
nd customs only possible to the carefully OBJ
'rving traveller. IL will be seen, therefore.

WISDOM AND UNITY.

Wisdom and unity are all they require
for success. Before them are two paths
one leading to the speedy and effectuaI
settlement of the debt upon easy and
honorable terms, with all the necessarily
incident benefits attending such settle
ment; the other, to an indefinite con-
tinuation of the long existing disgrace
full and injurious unsettlement, with its
necessarily consequent increased evils.
1t seems that as the ends of those two
paths are visible, it would not require a
great deal of wisdom to choose the
former, especially as it is also plain that
with the decision of the United States
Supreme Court unreversed, the fnality
no matter how long postponed, must be
the selection Of that path.-AIerandria

THE VITAL POINT.

THE TIMES has all the time called at
tention to the absurd mistake of manu-
featuring a prejudice against the credi
tors Of the State when reason prompted
a friendly understanding between the
two parties. If we are TO call oul
creditors our enemies because after lend
ing us the money to establish our public
works, they very naturally ask for a set
Element and go to law to get it, then we
establish very demoralizing idea that
would obtain in all private affairs. But
even if il is to be maintained by
certain politicians that the creditors are
to be treated as enemies, still it does not
alter the bearings Of the case. If your
business house is broken, the way is to
show your assets, and by the just rela-
ton they bear to the liabilities ascertain
what you ought to pay.
This is not the age when such transac-
tions can be settled by violence, especially
when we happen to be the weaker party
under the disadvantage of the law.
But let us see what is the governing
law in the case Is il an act Of the Legis
lature TO worry citizens out Of their rights
which they have under the law of the
United States, or is it that law of the /
higher power?
We think that Virginians after the /
rials of a war against the United States
re not prepared to fight another fight
gainst the Federal authority, even
hough that fight be lodging one in
tead of the manly one that men and
atriots once made in the field, and at
hitch being beaten they gave up like
len.
We believe that there is too much pride
nd manhood in the old State to consent
this sort of struggle with tricks and
libbles after we failed with arms.
The issue stands thus: 1t is proposed
pass an act by which neople standing
ION tender of coupons for taxes may 7
sued for their taxes.
on do not propose to execute the /.
dgment if you get it, but by little :
ibble to hold it over the taxpayer and o
ackmail him by process of law instead b
recovering your dues by real justice. a a
That is all that there is to it, twist it as 2
u may And the party that puts itself t.
any such policy is playing the part of =,
own pall-bearer and undertaken with 10
the prospect of honor in death. a,
But we have pointed out before that he
principle involved is that the State 81
mot call the tenderer of coupons to on
we them genuine. The Supreme al
1rt decision gives him the right to er
IT them as so much good money, and 20
takes the risk of prosecution if they co
not genuine; but it is the part ph
the State to prove them spurious, We
his to prove them genuine. III
you cannot make anything else out tn,

as that proposed act is passed it will r nj.

The Mendelssohn Concerts.

Some misapprehension prevails, from the
notice of few days ago, in regard to the
Mendelssohn concerts, which take place Oh
Saturday, Jan. 81. 1t was stated that the
price of subscribers tickets would be 81 % for
each concert, and that the tickets would
not be separately. This is incorrect The
management deemed it but fair that sub
scribers should be allowed some
special benefits, and therefore placed
the price at 81. 25 for the two concerts, that
is, subscribers get two tickets, one for even
ing concert and one for matinee both re-
served, for S1.25. Considering the reputa.
ton of the Mendelssohn Quintette Club
this is rare opportunity for lovers of good
music to enjoy one Or both concerts for q
moderate sum.
There will be all entire change of pro
gramme at each concert. Several Theatre
Parties" are being arranged, and the con-
certs promise to eclipse in brilliancy the
one SO successfully given last season. There
is great deal of musical talent and musi.
cal appreciation in Savannah, and
no better evidence is needed than
the large number of music lovers and con.
cert goers. The management has notice
in another column.

THROUGH THE CITY.
Items Gathered Here and There by the
News Reporters.

Calanthe Lodge, Knights of Pythias, will
meet tonight and elect officers.
Excepting the d. DIS, yesterday was quite
respectable and quiet Christmas north of
Liberty street.
The City and Suburban, Tybee and Coast
Line railroads will run special schedules
to-day for the benefit of pleasure seekers at
the suburban resorts.
The number of drunken white men and
negroes to be seen ON the streets yesterday,
should convince every one that the Sunday
liquor law in this city is dead letter.
The new Jail will be ready for prisoners
the latter part of this week Sheriff Roman
and his family will move into the jailer's
apartments on Wednesday, and everything
will be in readiness TO receive the wards of
he county few days thereafter.
To-day viii be generally recognized as a
Holiday, and business through the CITY will
be- generally suspended. The city and gov
Irnment Offices and exchanges viii be closed
None of the courts will be in session, and
he day viii practically be another Christ
mas.
His Honor, the Mayor, will have a good
lays work before him tomorrow, and If he
.ets through II all before shutdown he will
lave earned years salary. There were
lhirty-five prisoners in the barracks last
light, all charged with being drunk and dis
orderly, and thesfestivities Of to-day will
doubtless add largely to that number.
A lad of about ~ years, riding veloci-
pede on Broughton street about $50 o'clock
yesterday morning, barely escaped serious
injury by the reckless driving of a negro
man and woman in buggy. Fortunately
for the lad he got of in time to save himself
from the wheels Ct the buggy, but his pet
machine was knocked into dozen shapes.
The first car for the new railroad company
will arrive to-day on the Philadelphia
steamer. 1t is painted red. Since it was
ordered, however, the company has decided
TO adopt yellow as the standard color for its
cars and lights so as to distinguish them
from those Of the other street lines The
curve az Bay, West Broad and Indian
streets will be done tomorrow, If the
weashee continues fair.
